I'm not sure we need to mention the "refined" pie rule since AFAICT that phraseology is only used in the Orbit rules. Elsewhere on the web it looks normal that there may be n moves before the swap can be used - Orbit just allows passing in some of those moves. Kevin Saff 22:34, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

- Actually, traditionally the swap rule is a single move. The triple swap is effective in games with no defined centre--those on an infinite plane, say. Since there a single piece has the same value 'anywhere,' three pieces played give a nice balance. However, if you want more web resources for that, I probably couldn't find them.

- In "New Rules for Classic Games" by R. Wayne Schmittberger, there is a discussion about an Asian five-in-a-row game (whose name I forget) where there is also a refined pie rule. It was a pie rule more complicated than "A moves then B chooses what side to play". I also like the idea of a pie rule Chess Variant. Samboy 05:51, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I just looked over the rules to Havannah, both here on Wikipedia and on Ed van Zon's official Havannah website. Nowhere is there any mention of swapping sides.--Twixter 23:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
